Product Name: Standoff Land Attack Missile -- Expanded Response SLAM-ER

Product Description

A long-range, network-enabled strike option for preplanned and Target of Opportunity attack missions, SLAM-ER can be employed in different operating modes against a wide variety of targets.

Against moving targets:

• Missile accepts midcourse target updates
• Automatically computes target velocity and keeps the target within the missile seeker field of view
• Pilot uses standard commands to select a precise impact point on the moving target

Against fixed targets, SLAM-ER:

• Can be launched as either an autonomous "fire and forget" weapon or as a "man-in-the-loop" weapon
• Can be aborted or redirected after launch; pilot selects and refines the precise impact point after launch with a screen curser
• Designates the target through real-time digital pattern matching: Pilot can then allow the missile to reach the original aimpoint or can make refinements to the final impact point

In autonomous mode:

• Hits targets with near-precision accuracy using Global Positioning System updates alone
• Optional target imagery further enhances autonomous accuracy

The SLAM-ER 500-pound-class warhead and ultra-high accuracy provide maximal effectiveness with minimal ancillary damage. After performing battle damage assessment on the first target, pilots can redirect the missile to a second target miles away, multiplying the value of a single weapon. Mission planning for SLAM-ER can be performed in the field in less than 30 minutes.
